  1. The Particle Physics Group 2005 and beyond

  2. Welcome • Paul (M) • Adriana • Yibiao • Joseph • Remi • Krisztian • Panis • Colin • Jong • Owen • Paul(B) • Chris • Kim • Phil • James • Simon • Tim • Yu Wei • Jorge • Thorsten • Rob • Roger • Un-ki • Dave

  3. Running Experiments • ATLAS: SCT modules complete • BaBar: going strong • DØ: going strong • H1: involvement comes to an end

  4. New Experiments • CALICE • SuperNEMO • FP420 • All had proposals approved by PPARC

  5. Theory • Vibrant • Leading group for QCD phenomenology. Lots going on. • New developments in PP/cosmology

  6. Other new grants • EuroTev • Grid Security • EuDET • EGEE-II PP brings in far more income than any other research group in the School, apart from Astronomy

  7. More students • Number of PPARC standard studentships increasing from 3 to 4/year • Period of these also increasing from 3 years to 4 years Unwanted Christmas present? Need to think about opportunities and implications

  8. Manchester Cockcroft • 2 new lecturers • New RA • 2 new RAs to be appointed • New student 3 7?? Manchester presence beginning to be felt

  9. Manchester Tier 2 • LARGE farm in Renold house Go and see it and be impressed Opening ceremony coming up • Big asset for group

  10. Refurbishment • Move to 7th and 2nd floor complete We survived • Move to 5th and 6th floor on the way We will flourish

  11. Invitation: Ideas We have many activities Christmas meeting, Masterclass, Website, Library, Seminars, Offices, furniture, phones, mail (electronic), mail(physical), computing, Christmas party, teaching, outreach… If you have ideas about new things we could do, or how we could do things better – don’t just sit on it: tell me about it.

  12. Coming up: the Experimental Rolling Grant Application Our account to PPARC of what we’ve done with their money in the past 2 years, and request for the next 3-5 years. Vital that we keep our existing posts – and hopefully get some more Need to get our ideas straight first…

  13. Ray CALICE fraction slightly below PPARC commitment – but compensated by Julian superNEMO and FP420 fractions grossly over commitment ATLAS fraction grossly under PPARC commitment

  14. Julian CALICE fraction slightly above PPARC commitment – but compensated by Ray superNEMO and FP420 fractions grossly over commitment ATLAS fraction grossly under PPARC commitment

  15. Andrew Elvin CALICE fraction slightly above PPARC commitment superNEMO and FP420 fractions grossly over commitment ATLAS fraction grossly under PPARC commitment

  16. Jo No existing FP420 PPARC commitment ATLAS fraction grossly under PPARC commitment

  17. Steve Small CALICE fraction (5-10%) needed – PPARC commitment and thermal modelling Greatly exceeds PPARC SuperNEMO commitment ATLAS fraction slightly under PPARC commitment

  18. Scott Small CALICE fraction PPARC commitment but taken up by Marc Less than short-term PPARC SuperNEMO commitment but more long-term. No PPARC commitment to FP420 ATLAS fraction grossly under PPARC commitment

  19. Marc No CALICE PPARC commitment but this compensates for Scott Less than short-term PPARC SuperNEMO commitment but more long-term. No PPARC commitment to FP420 ATLAS fraction grossly under PPARC commitment

  20. Mike Perry There is a 10% CALICE PPARC commitment No PPARC commitment to FP420 or SuperNEMO ATLAS fraction grossly under PPARC commitment

  21. The projects Last 2 years are (presumably) inexact predictions

  22. Assertions and questions • We have a major commitment to ATLAS. Our small number of ATLAS support FTEs is not incompatible with this • Adding some ‘blue-skies’ detector-driven projects is to be encouraged • How do we get into super-SCT? Our skill set does not match early-stage research into rad hard silicon • Should we commit to FP420 electronics (Scott) AND mechanicals (Ray and Co.) • How do we manage the ATLAS ring fence?

  23. Discussion To be sorted out over the next few weeks – meanwhile: Happy New Year!
